Its flavor of strawberries and chocolate continues on my tongue, sweetening my night even more.

I touch the bed, I lie down and I already feel how my own body demands that I rest because it is immersed in the drugs, in their effects and immersed in deep calm.

It was better to have Fiore as a friend than an enemy.

It was better to have her as competition than as a piece of furniture that won't come close to me in the slightest.

It was better to start this way.

With challenges, because everything feels easier and more fascinating when it comes to Emily Fiore's challenges.

CHAPTER 7

DEPENDENT

???????????????

Emily

I had rushed to get to work, I was impressed that Ginevra always had all kinds of clothes ready for me, although little by little I was realizing that the clothes suited my style more. This time I made a braid that I let fall on my back while I felt Leone's heavy gaze.

He signed up to accompany me to work, I didn't refuse the morning Salvatore told me everything my escort would do to keep me safe. The night before had been strange, I had understood it, I had made him talk about his deepest thoughts and when he cornered me against the wall I had the need to hit him like the time he slapped me, although my desires were above all those deceptive thoughts. .

I wanted him to kiss me, in the club when we met, our mouths hardly touched, it was just pushing and I tried to dominate the game until I had him at my mercy, coming on my hand without shame.

Leone I can say that he is different, I don't know much about the family and just tonight when Salvatore attends to his business he will begin to talk to me about everything that comes with being in the mafia and his family in general. I am excited because I realize that everyone is different in their own way, no one is the same and I accept that everyone has their own traumas that make them that type of person, they should not be judged, although nor justified, just understand and continue.

If they miss their parents, perhaps it is not because of the love and all the affection , although they want to paint it that way, they were in control of their lives and now it is their turn to take charge of their own decisions. They are the four of them facing their lives as an ordinary person would, there are no more parents who are in charge of deciding for them.

I don't know them and I know that all the destruction and the way they show their insecurities were created from a young age. If they were very good, I am sure that they would not have treated them that way and I know that growing up within the Mafia will always be hard, it will be cruel and I know that I could not live with that.

—Do you also have things to take care of today?

"No, just this," he mutters. When going out of school I must also go with you and it is something that will not be negotiated.

"You're very serious," I sigh, looking out the window. I think things within your family were not optimal, I'm not looking for friendship, but children notice everything.

He rolls down the window a little and adjusts his hair, moving his black sunglasses between his nose.

—Trixi only has her grandparents, right?

-Yes because?

—Because he doesn't deserve to be suffering and suffering, even if you don't believe it and you call me a thousand names because of the way I am, I assure you that I have a heart for children —I smile a little—. I was left without parents anyway.

—But that was a few months ago, she is small and grows with the absence of those two figures.

—Oh Fiore, I didn't lose them a short time ago, it was a long time ago.

—I'll listen to you if you want to talk about it, among family I realize that they only talk about their businesses, they don't talk about yourselves.

I turn a little to see him, he takes off his glasses and for the first time I see a naive smile on his face.

—Did you talk to Salvatore about our family? -I nod-. If all of us miss them, I assure you that it was only because of the family moments we had and they made us feel more alive, we will always take my mother with us, but Dante... For my part, I considered that man lost since He messed with my brother Dom and Ginevra.

—I know about Dom, however, about Gin I feel like it was for safety.

He shakes his head, crosses his arms, making a couple of pleats on the custom-made suit.
